Climate Change Insanity

By Alan
Caruba

I went out
for a walk today and enjoyed seeing how the autumn leaves are changing color
because autumn, simply stated, is one of the four seasons that affects the
Earth. It is part of the change that occurs as it has for billions of years.
The notion that humans have anything to do with autumn or the other seasons or
that we should be spending billions of dollars to have any effect on the
climate of the Earth is utterly insane.

On October
10, The Hill reported that “The U.S. might make a substantial contribution in
November to an international fund that helps poor nations fight climate change,
according to Peruvian Foreign Minister Gonzalo Gutierrez.”Does anyone actually believe that any amount of moneywill change the climate? And yet, there is a United Nations Green
Climate Fund. The UN is the locus of the climate change, formerly global warming hoax.

“So far,
countries have put $2.3 billion into the fund” described as “a crucial
negotiating piece for developed nations trying to woo poorer ones to the table
for a global climate accord.”Can you
imagine how that money could be put to better use to fight the real problems of
poorer nations?

“The fund
was officially launched in 2013, after industrialized nations first pitched it
in 2009 during the Copenhagen meeting, setting a target of $100 billion by 2020
for developing nations.” The U.S. has yet to have contributed, but the U.S. is $18 trillion in debt and can ill afford
to throw millions at this absurd scam.

Unfortunately,
the U.S. is being led by a President who has said that climate change is the
greatest challenge facing the Earth. Our Secretary of State repeats this
absurdity. There is surely an agenda behind this that I have yet to have
determined except to think that this President has done everything in his power
to destroy the nation’s economy and the claim is part of that agenda.

The climate change lies Obama keeps repeating are more than just obscene, they pose a threat to national security as he directs our military to address climate change. In a sane world, he would be removed from office.

As a
recent October 1st Wall Street Journal noted, “President Obama
prophesied at the United Nations last week that climate change is the ‘one
issue that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any
other,’ and perhaps this vision of Apocalypse explains why he thinks he can
disregard the law to regulate carbon.”

Obama has
been using the Environmental Protection Agency as his primary means of foisting
the global warming/climate change hoax on the nation via a deluge of
regulations to control “greenhouse gas emissions.”Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the bogyman the EPA
and environmentalists have been telling us is driving up the Earth temperature.
Only the Earth has been in a cooling cycle for eighteen years and, at the same
time, the CO2 level in the atmosphere has increased! Without any effect on the
temperature!

As the
Wall Street Journal opinion noted “The EPA wants to reorganize U.S. electric
power generation and drive coal and eventually natural gas out of the energy
mix under a rarely used backwater of the Clean Air Act called section 111(d),
whose mandates apply state by state.”

Now,
however, thanks to an Ohio-based coal company, Murray Energy, along with a
dozen states, the EPA is being sued as they seek a writ of mandamus, “a type of
injunction the courts only grant when the government has taken an extraordinary
action beyond its statutory authority.”

The courts
are beginning to reject the EPA’s expansive claims of authority under the Clean
Air Act. “The courts seem increasingly alarmed by abuses of executive
power.”That is the only line of defense
between this outlaw federal agency and the rest of us. The EPA has succeeded
thus far in driving coal-fired energy plants out of business, reducing the
amount of electricity they have produced affordably and efficiently for the
last century and ours.

If the EPA
is permitted to continue the U.S. might as well just
turn off the lights because we are being systematically deprived of sufficient
energy. That is the Obama agenda for America.
